Sirius Red F3B is available as Direct Red 80 C.I. 35780. I would suggest
trying Sigma-Aldrich or Polysciences.

Help histonetters,
I have a scientist wanting me to do a stain called Sirius Red
(Llewellyn,
1970) I have found a procedure in Bancroft's book. Whew! Then I look in
I don't know how many catalogs and find Sirius Red F3B NOWHERE. I looked
in my old book of biological dyes for a possible alternate name. No
Luck! Does anyone know where I can get this stuff. AND once I find it any
clues. I have been warned that the preparation of this dye is tricky and
it can precipitate out on you quite easily. Thanks in advance!
